Next, Queen says, a different server, who replaced her waiter, offered a free refill on her tea. Queen says she thought this was some sort of apology, but when she sipped the tea, her mouth filled with bits of bacon.

I guess it's possible...but I doubt it. Why would they put bacon into an iced tea when they could easily sneak it into the food? It doesn't take much. Also why would they get pissy about leaving off the bacon? That is a pretty easy request. I do have to say my bs detector is going off right now.

As much as I wouldn't put it past a significant portion of the population here in Texas to do something like that with her religious beliefs in mind, if *anyone* is picky with the waiter, they risk something happening to your food....especially at a TGI Friday's.

Technically, Muslims aren't even supposed to eat food that has been prepared by a pan or pot that has even touched pork.

So why the fark would this woman go to a TGIF? Was she expecting them to purchase new cookware for her happy ass? Was she supposed to be catered to?

Until I can walk into a Halal restaurant, and they cater to me by making me a "pork-eater" dish, I don't give a fark about people with special diets who go to chain restaurants expecting to be catered to.

Not so much for me - this isn't the first time I've heard about a restaurant employee putting something in someone's straw as a (mean) joke, and this would be the easiest way to get it to her in a way that she wouldn't recognize. I doubt they were pissy about having to provide a special order as they were having to provide it to one of them there Mooslims, and although I try to shy away from stereotyping, the geographic location of the restaurant tends to lend credence to an anti-Muslim bias.

If you were dumb enough to go into a "Halal restaurant " asking for a pork dish, you'd receive what you deserved :)

/I don't think a salad bowl was used in offense against a porker anywhere.

1) who drinks tea with a straw?2) if it's a refill for her tea, how does the waiter/ess manage to sneak tinybacons into her straw?3) fark the fark right off, this is just effing bullshyte

tfa: Queen says she thought this was some sort of apology, but when she sipped the tea, her mouth filled with bits of bacon."I knew right away that it was bacon," she told the local ABC affiliate WFAA. "And I knew right away that it had been placed in my straw because that was the the first thing that went into my mouth."

Honest Bender:Big deal. It's not like she's allergic. She chooses not to eat pork because a fairy tale book told her it was wrong. I don't even see this as warranting an apology.

it all depends on the delivery of said request. How did the server know it wasn't allergy related?

If she'd requested kindly to not put bacon on her salad than fark the server and TGIF for putting it in her straw.. if she was just a whiny biatch and was basically flouting her religion and demanding they farking get rid of the bacon etc than yeah fark her!

The Cobb salads are probably pre-made so you would have to remove the bacon rather than leave it off. Or make a fresh one, when the prep was likely done and cleared hours before. And sneaking it into the straw has the added bonus of potentially choking her too.

I went to a local restaurant and they brought out rolls wrapped in cellophane. I opened one up and started to eat it, and someone had cut it open and filled it with pepper (not enough to make it funny, just enough to let you know the taste was off and someone had been touching your food.) The waitress wouldn't believe me. She insisted they didn't reuse the rolls (which may or may not have been the case, they had a drawer full of them where a disgruntled customer could have mixed rolls in, but the waitress thought I was up to something. Lousy food anyway.

As for this story- why would a woman convert to Islam? I understand some people convert to a religion for the one they love, but Islam is a religion that threatens to kill you if you decide you want to leave and is terrible on women's rights. Don't get me wrong, I think all religion is ultimately silly, but a woman converting to Islam is like a non-celebrity converting to Scientology. It's only going to get you treated badly.

Oooh oooh. Ol' Allah's gonna be pissed that one of his cherished rules have been broken. Sensitive, little fellow.

Ever notice how supposedly great, powerful and loving deities have such tiny-minded rules to stroke their egos?

Doesn't it ever occur to pious folks that their God would only let proselytizing sycophants and assorted boot-lickers into his heavenly reward, and toss those who actually let good and moral lives into the lake of fire?

There's a video on Youtube of her, she said she converted because "she needed a change" and "saw some videos on Youtube about Muslims."

She didn't seem so butt hurt when I asked for my twin towers to be un attacked, but noooooooo...So she can kiss my bacon lovin' ass. Muslims want to be catered to for EVERYTHING but are the most intolerant bunch of religious nuts ever.They call for mass murders and abuse their women.....Yet they are a religion of peace. Cut the crap. This world is too PC.

topcon:uber humper: topcon: Oh, and she's a papparazi photographer. Real class act, and probably not at all an attention whore.

In my experience, female Muslim converts tend to be attention whores.

/probably any egregious converts but especially muslim.

She's definitely "out there" and saying LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! Just searching her name comes up with a bunch of vanity shiat.

Her Twitter handle is "queen of Islam."

https://twitter.com/queensofislam

Her tagline for Twitter:

Nicole Queen is a well-known American convert to Islam. From Party Girl to Muslimah, no matter how small the change, it's all about changing for the better.

She has a blogspot, Queens of Islam:

http://thequeensofislam.blogspot.com/

Queen's of Islam are royal women of America who represent dignity, strength, and faith above all the rest.

She's a farking moron who is more interested in promoting herself than her kooky ass religion.

I tend to agree.... I've noticed that white Muslim converts are typically more whiny, AW, extreme, right wing than 'regular' run of the mill brown 'born into the religion' Muslim. It's like they are trying really hard to prove to others that they are more 'Islamic' than everyone else.
